Product Features
Technical Overview
This Category 6 cable meets TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1 standards, supporting frequencies up to 250 MHz and delivering reliable performance for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T networks. The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design reduces crosstalk through precise pair twisting, while the gold-plated contacts maintain optimal conductivity and corrosion resistance.
The cable's 24 AWG stranded conductors offer flexibility for tight installations, and the lockable RJ-45 connectors ensure secure connections in high-vibration environments. Features like Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) performance enhancement and Power over Ethernet (PoE) support make this cable versatile for both data and power delivery applications.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
The GigaTrue 3 cable combines durability with performance, featuring a rugged PVC jacket that resists damage from bending, crushing, or environmental stress. The snagless boots prevent latch damage during installation or cable management, extending the cable's service life in frequently reconfigured setups.
Reliable Connectivity
Gold-plated contacts and precision-molded RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent signal integrity and reduce insertion loss, supporting stable network performance even in demanding environments.
- Gold contact plating
- Stranded conductors for flexibility
- Lockable connector design
Installation-Friendly Design
The CM-rated jacket meets safety standards for commercial installations, while the snagless boots and lightweight construction simplify routing through racks, conduits, or cable trays.
- Snagless boot protection
- CM flame-retardant jacket
- Lightweight and flexible
Deployment / Use Cases
This patch cable is ideal for connecting network switches, routers, servers, and patch panels in office networks, server rooms, or data centers. Its 4-foot length makes it perfect for short-run connections within racks or between adjacent devices, reducing cable clutter while maintaining signal quality.
Common applications include linking wall plates to desktop computers, connecting patch panels to switches in telecom closets, or extending connections for VoIP phones, access points, and security cameras. The PoE support allows it to deliver both data and power to compatible devices, simplifying deployments for IP cameras, wireless access points, and other powered network equipment.
